She's dreadfully propagandised, too proud to apply for all the benefits she should be claiming as a single mother, and isn't interested in politics, but when I got into work at lunchtime she asked me for a rundown of the Isn'treal/Palestine conflict because she trusts my takes more than the media's.
Took a few tries for her to get which were Jewish and which were Arab, but eventually reached the conclusion that she has sympathy for Israelis desire for their own country, but they can't have someone else's country so she supports the Palestinian struggle for freedom.
Once the kid gets old enough to look after itself and she moves in with her girlfriend she'll have time to become radicalised, but for now this is good progress.
